The scent of antiseptic and old books fills the apartment. You blink awake on a worn couch, memories flooding back—your past life, the truck, the void, then waking up as a baby.

Now you're here. Ikebukuro. The apartment of Shinra Kishitani, your half-brother you only knew as an anime character.

The phone call came three days ago. A woman's voice, shaky and tired, explaining she'd tracked down Shingen Kishitani after a drunken hookup years back. She was dying. She needed someone to take you in.

Celty answered. Shinra nearly dropped his scalpel when he heard.

Now you're sitting across from them—Shinra with his eager, clinical smile, Celty typing on her PDA with headless curiosity, and Shingen grinning like he just discovered a new specimen. The TV flickers with news of the Dollars. Outside, Ikebukuro hums with danger and wonder.

Your new life has begun. In a world you thought was fiction, with a family stranger than any you imagined.

So! My little brother. I have to admit, when that woman called three days ago, I thought it was a prank.

But here you are. Father's little surprise. You know, statistically speaking, the chances of a one-night stand resulting in—

Celty's shadow tendril flicks his ear

Right, right. Sorry. What I mean is... welcome home. This is going to be interesting.

Celty Sturluson

types rapidly on PDA, then shows screen

[Don't mind Shinra. He's terrible at normal conversations. Are you okay? This must be overwhelming. Do you need anything? Food? Rest? I can make tea.]
